Love the food. But the service is horrible and is coupled with rude employees. I will not return to this location.

I took a few people here for lunch a few weeks ago. We arrived early and got a table right away and when we left the place was packed. We enjoyed a pepperoni supreme pizza and I think the California Club. Both were delish and polished off. Servers are all nice and stay on top of drink refills. read more

After a day of shopping, we were really looking forward to some cheap, great drinks and good food. Eeeehhh, California Pizza Kitchen is probably not the place. They don't have a happy hour and their drink selection is just okay. We decided on sangria...and a pitcher would have been great. Buuuuut, they don't offer pitchers. Boo. She got the Appleberry sangria and I got the Caribbean Sunset; both were very good. We shared a caramelized peach salad and a margherita pizza; perfect amount of food to be shared by two people. We were both very pleased with both of these. Very tasty. Also, our server was terrible. Not at all friendly. She would disappear for long periods of time (we were out of water for most of our meal). Wait, they work off tips right?! Right. I'm sure she figured it out eventually. I do usually like CPK. Had we known that they didn't really have what we wanted, perhaps we would have gone elsewhere. But we were pleased once we decided on a few things. The service sucked, and that's okay. Maybe it just wasn't our day for CPK. read more

I've really enjoyed going to this restaurant the last few times I've been. Food was always good and service was okay. I've dined in twice a couple months ago and both times service was a little slow but that's to be expected right now. They seat every other table so they seem to be following guidelines with social distancing. I've also order togo twice in the last month. Apparently I really do like their food...haha. Both times it didn't take too long to get the food and they didn't skimp on the portions. Can't wait for my next pizza!! read more

My mom and I came here for a quick salad on Saturday night. We usually love to split the Italian Chopped Salad. (Upon entering the restaurant there was a very strong smell of gas, which we thought to be very strange, gross and potentially dangerous...) We were seated by a long table mixed with 6 adults and 3 children. The place was a mess. There was food, napkins and various garbage all over the restaurant floor (at this point we should have left, but stayed due to wanting our salad and we were also in a hurry). The adults at this long table were loudly telling stories and often using very foul language. The children were running a muck - at one point they even started playing with a service station that seemed to have mustard and mayonnaise packets, they proceeded to squirt these packets on the table and in their empty dishes. The children ran around the restaurant, climbing around the booth, running back and forth to the bathrooms, and none of the adults looked up, nor did any employees get involved. The table behind us was offered bread, while our server didn't even mention it. We had to ask, and when it came to the table it was hard and stale. Our salad arrived, without plates for us to share (we asked to split the salad); when (very small) plates arrived they were dirty. Our server checked on us once; we asked for the check and got up to leave. We asked for a manager on our way out and a man came almost right away. We told him of our concerns and disappointments, my mom even said 'this place has really gone down hill, your quality and standards just aren't there anymore;' The manager didn't seem to really care. He thanked us for our feedback and apologized. There was no genuine care or effort, not an offer to come back for a complimentary salad, nothing. I remember when CPK used to be posh and modern, full of flavor and new and interesting meals. Covid has done a lot to us all, and the idea of going out to spend any kind of money on a meal can be a big decision. This place has obviously suffered too, but customers can see a difference between struggling and laziness. This restaurant is dirty and substandard. I do not recommend a trip here. The days of casually shopping and then enjoying a glass of wine and a nice meal at CPK are officially over. read more

I'm disappointed! I've never had a bad meal here until today. I was craving the creamy garlic fettuccine and it was lukewarm and super dry!! It was as if they forgot to put any cream sauce on it at all. I had to ask for additional sauce to make it edible. The service was great as always and tried to make it better which I appreciate. I was dining with someone who doesn't come here and it was embarrassing because I was raving about it. It was money down the drain! Please do better CPK!! Love a usually faithful customer! read more

It's officially time for CPK to close forever. The pizza has reached a level of "disgusting" and you now pay $18 for an 8 inch pizza.

always very accommodating of my partner who is allergic to gluten. staff is for the most part respectful, we did have one server who rolled her eyes when we asked for bread 3/4 of the way into our meal. that's the only negative experience we've had there. everything is tasty and warm and comforting. restaurant is very clean and bathrooms are stocked. read more

Not the best service, staff forgets to have a basic human interaction, but overall a splendid pizza will come out of this. The cooking crew in the back are nicer than their hostesses and such. Came here for a to-go order and got my prompt, and packaged pizza. I love the location, as there are limitless parking, there is also a whole section just to collect a to-go order. read more

We walked in for dinner after a day of shopping and this location was disgusting. I hadn't seen a fly for a while since it's been cold and this restaurant was so bad it had flies. There was food and old plates on unused tables. There was a napkins and straw covers all on the floor and the smell of sewer was overwhelming that I had to move tables, still unsatisfied I had to leave. If the restaurant visible to customers is bad I can only imagine what it looks like behind closed doors. read more

food was good but do not go in the bathroom. It has a horrible stench and left me and my friends gagging. IT SMELT LIKE STANK PUSSY

California Pizza Kitchen is pretty much the same wherever you go. It's a good restaurant and I enjoy the food there. In fact, I particularly recommend the Margherita pizza. The thin crust pizzas are pretty good overall really. I will say that the service is a little slow at this location though. For being in an area with a lot of lunch-goers, they could use to speed up the service a little bit. read more

While out shopping before Thanksgiving, got the CPK urge.. The curbside service is great!! They recognized me from my phone & make of my vehicle. The food is always delicious & the service was great!! My favorite item: The BBQ Chicken Chopped Salad w/Alvacado.. MMMMMmmmmm They also have a Pizza Dough Rewards program. Ask your server... read more

I hadn't been to CPK for a while. We went to the Park Meadows location after a rugby game in Littleton. The highlight of the meal was our sever Alexis. After we asked to sit on the patio Alexis greeted us and immediately noticed our table was wobbly. She went and got some coasters to stabilize the table. Big bonus points. Throughout the meal she refilled drinks, made sure we were ok and was an awesome waitress. I had the Jamaican jerk thin crust pizza. The sauce is a little sweet but the jerk seasoning, bacon, onions and peppers helped to balance it. I also had bites of the roasted vegetable salad with grilled chicken and shrimp (extra add-ons). The dressing was a little heavy but otherwise it's very tasty. Definitely going to go back again. Thanks again to our great server Alexis. read more

I don't know how this place stays in business. I love CPK but sadly this one has been disappointing on two separate visits. The bbq chicken salad was 99% chips and dressing- the zucchini scampi was greasy and flavorless, the food took forever and the service was mediocre at best. The only positive was the mushroom soup. Needs new management! read more

I used to go here all the time when I lived in Southern California. This was attempt #2 here in Lone Tree. Both were fair to bad ... not trying for #3. There are so many other better choices. The quality has gone way downhill and it's not worth it. Plus the restaurant just seems dirty too. read more

We came for lunch at 11am for another free pizza and beverage from last weekend's Veterans Day freebie that we got at the Cherry Creek location. The posted hours was for the restaurant to be open at 11am. The manager unlocked the doors a few minutes after 11am. He promptly seated us. We ordered the Artichoke and Spinach Pizza on thin crust and the Mushroom Pepperoni Sausage Pizza on honey-wheat whole grain crust. Both were excellent. The whole grain crust was a little dry, maybe overbaked. Toppings were plentiful and evenly distributed. Service was super friendly. She brought us refills without even asking. We would probably be back to this location again. read more

Plenty of options when ordering my fav is the bbq chicken pizza with red onions. The Buffalo cauliflower is really good also. They got my order wrong once for curbside but was quick to fix it. read more

I never got my food I never got a refund I hate GrubHub I hate dealing with them they are not in this country and they are not helpful no one ever called me they kept my food and they kept my $50 I called California pizza kitchen and they were no help either so they get one star and if I could leave zero stars I would $50 wasted?!!!! read more

Wow, sorry to say it but CPK fell off. I used to think of CPK along the same lines as Cheesecake Factory. Whomever is running this location needs to take notes from the neighboring Cheesecake Factory. For starters there wasn't a host up front, and we had to wait up front for a few minutes (maybe they were late to work, it happens). It gave us ample time to admire the outdated, brass fireplace, and dirty yellow brick walls. By the time we noticed the dirty floor around the empty hostess stand it was too late. We locked eyes with a server and he brought us to a table. We didn't want to offend and just say "never mind, we don't want to eat here." Honestly I always regret not standing up for myself in moments like that. Anyway, we went to our table (inside dining only, the patio was closed which sucked because the weather was gorgeous), and I took my kids to the bathroom. Ew. Ugh. Ew. I should've called it off right then and there. The bathroom smelled like a giant fart. I know it's a bathroom. I know. But this smelled like a long term stink, not like someone had *just* dropped a stinky surprise and left. It smelled like a plumbing issue fart. The stall doors were crying out for WD40. Literally. The stall door screamed when we closed and opened it. It screamed. I thought ppl in the restaurant heard, it was that loud. On the walk back I noticed the carpet threading was worn bare in many spots, and it smelled like years of dirty water had been spilled on it. The entire table felt sticky, which is a huge turnoff. We also got stuck next to where the servers roll the silverware. I understand that has to be done somewhere, but... maybe do it on the closed patio? And vacuum the space under the table, because there were a ton of wrappers under there. Not very nice to see during our meal. Our server Colin was prompt, friendly, and professional. We ordered the spinach artichoke dip for an app, and it looked like it had been heated up and forgotten... the top was barely warm and the edges looked dried. Fortunately further down was warm, but yeah. The cactus pear drinks were yummy, but tart. I wasn't ready for the tart, but it was fine I still drank it. I severely underestimated the level of spice they were talking about with the spicy pizza (Moreno I think?), but that's on me, lol! Everyone liked their food, otherwise. Honestly though, we likely won't be back. I don't wish to pay for that experience again. I can't eat in a dirty environment. read more

Not only was the service at this specific California Pizza Kitchen disrespectful, but the restaurant was also dirty and disgusting. Upon walking in, we were ignored by the staff due to the employees social interactions; it was more important that they finished their conversation by the bar than paying any sort of attention to their customers. Once seated, our waiter proceeded to make us feel unwelcome and uncomfortable. Additionally, both my friend and i ordered a Mac and Cheese, and were surprised to find MORE than just macaroni noodles in our lunch. read more

California Pizza Kitchen - Not sure what this is... - Pizza Near Me - Lone Tree, Colorado

Although I love California Pizza Kitchen I was highly disappointed when I had dinner at this location. Our menus were sticky and dirty. The extra plates and area around our tables were dirty. I ordered a BBQ Chicken Salad and on my second bite I bit into balled up paper that I am assuming was used for portion prep. I brought it to my waitress attention and she apologized and brought a fresh salad out. I also over heard her tell a manager about the issue and they did not suggest any other ways to accommodate me or cared to know what table had the issue. One of my coworkers also had a salad and her lettuce had huge ice burg lettuce chucks. It seemed as if whoever was prepping did not take their time prepping. I wouldn't recommend this location. read more

California Pizza Kitchen - BBQ Chicken Salad - Pizza Near Me - Lone Tree, Colorado

Bartender was our waitress, and she didn't appear to be excited about it. We asked for straws and finally had to grab the hostess to get some. Waited forever for ice tea refill. When ordering asked for a cheese substitution and was told it would be extra although they were removing one cheese and swapping for another. The cauliflower pizza crust is the bomb! I highly recommend just don't sit in the bar section my server a few nights prior was so kind and friendly vs the bartender. read more

I've tried CPK in several states and this is exactly what I expected... Good food, warm atmosphere, casual dining. I enjoyed the revamped menu and ingredients and the healthier choices are not just smaller versions, they are just made healthier. I like watching the pizza guy at this particular location toss the pizza dough. And the staff earns this place the four star rating. I've only been here a couple times and already a few people in the staff recognized us and got me to download the rewards app for free food and coupons. read more

California Pizza Kitchen - Just outside Park Meadows Mall - Pizza Near Me - Lone Tree, Colorado

I had a very bad experience at this restaurant location. the woman's bathroom smells like sewer and the walls looks absolutely disgusting. And in the men's bathroom the walls looked like dog sh** and there was paper towels everywhere. I also got a dirty glass and i didn't realize it till my drink was half empty. This place was absolutely disgusting and gross. read more

Great food!! They were very good about watching my allergy and their staff is extremely dedicated and well trained. Would definitely recommend this location read more

We had a great time! Food was fantastic but the service was stellar! Thank you Tyler for your great service. You made the birthday dinner really fun. read more

I would give CPK 5 stars easily, but I have one complaint that overshadows. I love their Chopped BBQ Chicken Salad and ther BBQ Chicken pizza. I order it with dressing on the side and then comes the question, "would you like a side of avocado with that?" The price for that side just went up from $2.75 to $3.00!!!!! Are you flipping kidding me? Do you know I can buy 1-3 full avocado's for that price. I'm pretty sure as a nationwide chain, you can do MUCH better than I can. Yet you without shame, boldly stick it to your customers. Irritating! Now if you don't want avocado with your food and you think they aren't bolding sticking it to you with your pricing, please step inside and order away. My choice, no surcharge or $1.50 tops. read more

CPK has never been my favorite pizza, but some of their offerings are great and you have to give them credit for consistency. I came here with a friend for dinner last week on a weeknight; we hadn't seen each other in a while so we were planning on having a relaxing dinner to catch up. Our waitress seemed intent on not allowing that to happen. She asked us for our drink order within seconds after I sat down, for our food order within seconds of opening the menu, and seemed visibly unhappy every time we had to tell her we were going to need another moment. Later, when we wanted the check, we couldn't find her. Go figure. On the bright side, the food was as good as I had remembered. We split the barbecue chicken pizza and, continuing the theme, the barbecue chicken salad. I love the flavor combination on the pizza and the salad was good as well-- I think the corn and black beans go very well with the chicken and barbecue sauce. It's nice that it's a chopped salad as well. My glass of wine was reasonably priced and so was my friend's sangria, which she enjoyed. I'd go back because I like CPK and I like Park Meadows, but I'd hope to sit in a different section. read more

I have had such a rough two days of lunches. Man I just hate that! What can you do though, when work requires it. Anyway I had to go to CPK for a work lunch today. It was decidedly not awesome. It is loud, the service and food are mediocre, and it is in the cluster of Park Meadows which means it's nearly impossible to get there and to get out in any reasonable amount of time, without just about losing your damn mind. I had the Carne Asada Pizza and it was okay. I think I probably could have ordered something I would have liked better but whatevs. I will just try to avoid work lunches at mediocre places for a little while! read more

Honestly, this place is really overpriced for what you get. The pizza is ok, not much to brag about. Don't spend the money if you're just going to get a pepperoni pizza. The salads are good though and I'm a fan of the chilled shrimp rolls. Overall, just not blown away and would rather spend the money somewhere else. read more

The food is quite tasty & full of flavor! The price is a little over my budget but the food is worth it. If it were just a bit more budget friendly, we would be here more often. read more

Horrible service. Food was cold. We weren't greeted! We had to wait a long time to get seated, to get our drinks, and food.

Never been here before and wanted to give it a try. The pizzas are SO SMALL! I paid $17 for a pizza that would be classified as a small anywhere else. My girlfriend and I were both still hungry after eating $17 worth of pizza?!? Ridiculous. Probably the most overpriced pizza I've ever had in my life. Pizza quality was average, nothing special, I prefer papa johns. read more

I was very impressed with the service and the food quality of this location. I came here for a late lunch with a close friend after doing some shopping at IKEA; we had a hankering for some pizza! Upon arrival, I was slightly surprised by how small this location is! They do offer outside seating, but it was a bit chilly and we opted to wait around 10 minutes for a table inside. We were served by Kelly and I am happy to say she was one of the most fantastic waitresses I have had at any restaurant. She was quick and attentive, always bringing refills of our drinks before we finished the previous glasses. The food, as usual, was great. I have never been disappointed with the food at California Pizza Kitchen and this was no exception. I had the California Club Pizza and it was perfect. The Spinach Artichoke Dip is also fantastic and I used the leftovers to dip my pizza crust in. Quirky? Yes, but it was awesome. Overall, I had an extremely pleasant lunch here. The only recommendation I would have is to show up a little early if you are coming during a peak time. Park Meadows is a popular location for shopping and with the small nature of this restaurant, waiting times could increase pretty quickly. Other than that, this location has great food, great service, and is conveniently located. read more

My first visit to CPK (or so I heard it called) during a team lunch for work, and I'm pretty happy with it. Actually, my favorite part was the food, which is pretty important for a restaurant. Most of my group ordered the lunch duo but I wasn't pretending I wanted soup or salad. Give me pizza! I ordered a full-size Thai Chicken pizza and I even got my veggies in for the day. The base peanut sauce was a unique and delicious start, topped with grilled chicken, slivered carrots and bean sprouts. Winning combo right here. The service was good enough but we felt kind of ignored on the back porch. It took us a long time to get silverware and napkins (after our bread and oil came out) and my pizza came out several minutes after the rest of the food. read more

My wife has celiac disease, so when we heard that CPK has celiac-safe gluten-free pizza, we wanted to check it out. Victory #1: They have gluten-free pizza at all! Victory #2: When I called the restaurant to find out if the California Pizza Kitchen gluten-free crust contains corn (which my wife is also allergic to), they were able to find the answer in just a couple of minutes - no corn! Woo hoo! Victory #3: The pizza is delicious, as it turns out. I've tried a lot of gluten-free pizzas, and this one is my favorite. We went with the barbecue chicken pizza, adding pineapple, and it was awesome. Victory #4: The waiter, Zach, actually understood celiac disease and was sensitive to the fact that, for instance, they didn't have any gluten-free desserts, thus keeping my wife safe. Awesome, awesome experience all around. We will be back! read more

These guys weren't that busy cause we came in at 8:30 and they took a long time to get this done. We ordered a side salad and they charged 6.00 for some salad and croutons. No other veggies. The good was ok...and I really like CPK! Should have been better but wasn't the best tonight. read more

The shrimp scampi pizza was fantastic and we even got a free dessert for our anniversary... we will be back!! read more

I did not have the best experience my last visit and was pretty bummed. However their management team was quick to reach out and try to help with the situation.

Really appreciated their effort to make my next experience better. read more
